Amandine Clerc-Marie was born in Grasse, the heart of French perfumery, where her love of fragrance seemed almost natural. Thanks to her mother, who worked in the perfume industry, she grew up surrounded by raw materials, essences, and stories of creation. She honed her talent at the prestigious ISIPCA in Versailles, where she mastered both the technical and artistic aspects of the craft in detail.
After more than ten years of collaboration with Michel Almairac, she developed her own signature style that effortlessly combines elegance and modernity. Since 2011, she has been a senior perfumer at Firmenich and has designed creations for leading brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Yves Saint Laurent, Lancôme, and Mugler. Her style is visual and intuitive, inspired by color, movement, and form. Despite her impressive portfolio, which includes iconic fragrances like Chloé and La Nuit Trésor, she remains humble. For Amandine, everything revolves around the creative process: translating an idea into a fragrance that evokes emotions and has a lasting impact.
